I have a half brother who I'd spoken two twice in 35 years. UNTIL he decided it was time to reconnect with family because he was having kidney problems and might need our help.

[ahem]

jayphat: The boss was also belittling her on the job for any mistakes made, while simultaneously ignoring the other employees doing the same thing.

Me thinks the dealership didn't want the medical bills anymore and purposely got rid of her.

You'll forgive me if I'm disinclined to take claims made at face value. Nearly everybody who gets fired for being a farkup thinks everybody else is just as big of a farkup, too, and some of her other assertions, like the idea that she had no idea there would be miserable side effects from the surgery, just sound like blatant lies.

Bear in mind that she had just been hired the same year, claiming that she was "manipulated" and that she believed that she would have this job "until she retired". That's pretty optimistic for someone who just started a new job and is only ~45. I think she gave the kidney believing that she was sealing some sort of deal, and now thinks she's entitled to compensation from the dealership because the kidney didn't grant her immunity.

If the boss were blackmailing her for a kidney, promising to retaliate against her if she didn't donate, I'd be cheering her lawsuit on. Instead, she's approaching it the other way around, that since she donated a kidney to her personal friend, she should be able to blackmail the company into keeping her on the payroll. The boss is a dirtball for playing along, but the employee is the one who appears to have signed up to have her abdomen sliced open thinking they were also going to sew her hand into somebody's pocket during the surgery. Not a lot of sympathy brewing, here.

I got suspended for 48 hours for posting a similar image for being 'too graphic'.
Despite the fact that the 'surgeon' was holding a hunk of steak instead of kindey, and you could clearly see the ketchup bottle used for 'blood' on the floor.

But I guess the rules don't apply to you.

/I mad.

fusillade762: Brucia began to harass her shortly after she donated her left kidney in the fall of 2010 -- and eventually helped fire her in April 2011

Wow, that's a colossal dick move.

What you quoted is Stevens' complaint filed with a state Human Rights Commission. I imagine that there will be an investigation and legal proceedings where supporting evidence will be provided.

I, for one, will be interested to see what the due process of law uncovers.

maybe it was the gore, I mean all you could see in my pic was stitches. Although, I've had a post nuked almost immediately before and was banned for like 20 min just because it referred to someones comment that had been banned. I think some mods just get over zealous....

BTW, that incision runs the wrong way. You approch the kidney along the ribline.
